12Alfa Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Of course it's your head, (and map) fell free to use them as required. me. I'm here due to not exposing my head (as it is) having my head under armour while reading said map in a war zone. A map can be seen from thermals (you know this). Having sat for many hrs as duty offices looking with a "eye in the sky" has given me and others a better understanding of what can be seen. Another point we should consider-If we use the PID to fire/not fire, this use to confirm a wpn, shows the level of detail one has on the target. So we have the detail for a AK with folding stock, but some would put forth the idea we cant see a map on top of a AFV....to me this this does support the idea that a map (with straight edges) can't be seen from above by helo's and drones, in my experience , not current , tells a different set of facts. Again, your head..please keep it safe, Edited September 3, 2018 by 12Alfa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Alfa Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) In this vid we can see how a small white object stands out, and why we cover our licence plates while operational.View the map attached to the sight head, maple leaf, and the plates. Also lights on dosent help.This is training, abit wrong training, but still training. As I have posted, we do stupid thing during training, combat has a way of teaching, some learn the hard way. Train as you fight, a saying I lived by in my later years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PBtM-v4GWY Edited September 3, 2018 by 12Alfa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both instances I'd look at the map inside the vehicle and look at the ground / surrounds when I had my headup - didn't need the distraction on the map when looking at the "near view". Also with your shoulders bracing your body in the hatch, you were hard pressed to put your hands up to control your binos, let alone manage a map board. Those sorts of boards tended to be used on either courses or at TEWTs. Like this chap? (20 seconds in) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red2112 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I would say JTAC is going to lase on you from the ground, if so. Inbound CAS will have a set-path for it´s bombing round as well as it´s altitude (Included in there 9 line procedure). Will not go to 500ft just for spotting reasons unless they have a reason to (confirmed target). Still don´t see why all the fuss for a simple wish like that for SB... Might as well spray water on your face to simulate when it´s raining! I bet you can set up a spray bottle with "Arduino" so it can be triggerd with a key Really... two steps beyond the moon sometimes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDeath Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) What about more scenario editing tools, like upgrading triggers ? For exemple hierarchy among triggers - If trigger 1 is activated, trigger 2 is no longer available for user to activate. - If trigger 1 is activaged, child trigger 3 and 4 are now available for user to activate Besides, having a small overview of the terrain map before loading it into a new SCE would be awesome (my computer is quite slow to load). Would make it easier to choose between the multiples ter maps. Edited September 9, 2018 by BlackDeath 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a long story. If you want some advice on how to set something up in the editor, you can post a question with the specifics over here; http://www.steelbeasts.com/forum/8-scenario-and-maps/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDeath Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 For crewable vehicles, what about those ones : Wiesel TOW BRdM-2 AT the M60A1 or M48 and this guy, for the fun of it : 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Challenger 2 with GPS only for an early CH, but the Armour is a bit on the heavy side for the late 70s Mission editor, the ability to go straight to the variable selection with needing to use the radio buttons on the left. E.G. Embark if... Box opens Left Click to set 20 out of "20" <= random variable "X63" < "80" Activates Button for above variable in the dialog box Also hitting enter to close dialog box / "OK" Button would be nice (Speeds up my randomising ability) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Having the vehicle modelled is one thing, the ISR capability another. I've always found it challenging to replicate the effect - but it can be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 14, 2018 Members Share Posted October 14, 2018 Yeah. That's been the main hold-up (...and the fact that our army customers constantly seem to have higher priorities elsewhere). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Allow me to clarify I am not happy with using the M113 as a FV432 stand in. Esp the A1 / A2 models, That back end looks like the designers just gave up, A3 model is OK Any addition of crewable vehicles is a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
